To march up to neighbour's yard and give him a bollocking?

[Freshletticia]

Bloody hambones neighbour always gets machinery out on the bank holidays. This time he has had JCB, tractor and heavy trailer, and a bloody jackhammer out at 7am every morning since Saturday. Am furious, we are supposed to be enjoying a few days off. He did it all through our little community party on Monday as well and is piling up and down the lane with the tractor. DH had to ask the driver to slow down as all the neighbours were worried about the children and animals.
Every Sunday afternoon he lets his 10 year old son tear up and down the quarry on a quad bike. I mean FFS, this is deepest Wales, we are on a small farm and well used to tractors and stuff, but this is beyond.
As DH has already had a word with him on Monday WIBU to now go up there and blow my top?

Isn't he the friendly type? Why wasn't he at the party? Did his wife and son attend?

Did it make any difference after DH had a word?

Am confused by your post. Is your neighbour a farmer? If so, out with machinery at 7am is normal in the country surely? "we are supposed to be enjoying a few days off" might not apply to everyone. Otherwise bank holidays don't mean everyone has to be silent but can enjoy themselves. I don't see whats wrong with the son on the quad bike either.

I'm sure its much worse in person than I'm seeing it as though!

Was the road closed for your party? If not, YABU. Sounds like the (real) joys of country life!

Yes of course they were invited to the party, but they were already going to one in another village. They were invited to last year's too, but did not come. I thought is was a shame really, as they have 3 young children who go to school with mine.
All the other neighbours came. We all get on fine, it's just the lack of consideration for others. They went off to a party elsewhere on Monday and left the machinery working all through ours.
It's not usual farm business, he is not a farmer, but has a new house in the quarry above our place and he is scraping out the quarry bottom and flattening it, dumping the rubbish on farm land up the road. Hence the jackhammer and tractor/trailer.
Usual farm business is would not disturb anyone here, we are part of the farming community, not townies who move in and complain.
I am just cross that he couldn't have had the work done during the normal working week instead of a holiday weekend. We do also have people holidaying in this area as it is very beautiful. Our area needs the income from tourism as there are not many jobs.

I wouldn't go and shout at him, but I am so cross. I am sitting in my conservatory here and the diesel fumes are dropping down from the quarry and smoking us out.

It's an old quarry, not a working one. It was full of trees and birds but not now.
Also, there are lots of quad bikes here used on farms which are no problem. This one is used to race up and down for 3 hours every Sunday afternoon when everyone is trying to enjoy their gardens.
My DH would never get the chainsaw out on a Sunday.
I feel sorry for local holidaymakers, they must think they have inadvertently booked one of those half-built building site hotels in Spain you hear about. Especially as the work has started so early each day. 7am is early for building work. 8am is the norm.
Personally I'm outside doing chores usually by then, but I know others do not wake so early.
Anyway, rant over. Next time they have a barbecue I'll put Hard House on DS's deck and mega speakers and open all the windows........

Does he have a permit to dump his rubbish? Sounds like the sort of thing your council need to be aware of .

i am reading it as thoigh the 'rubbish' is natural materialsl from the bottom of the quarry ??
Annoying as it is, just because you would like apeaceful bank holiday doesn't mean your neighbour has to feel the same way.Your DH might never get the chainsaw out on a sunday, but I certainly would-it's the only day I have to do the gardening

IMO 7am is too early for noisy building works. Most planning permission makes reference to limited hours allowed for noisy workings. Can you check?

You do have to put up with neighbours noise to some extent, but I agree that this seems a bit much.

Our neighbours are compulsive DIYers. Drives me fucking nuts.

Yanbu.

I think you are allowed to make noise between 7am and 11pm.Restrictions placed on builders would not apply.

It sounds annoying, but perhaps one of those things you have to ignore. Unfortunately people will make noise when you don't want them to whether you're in the town or the country. It used to do my nut when the farmer would park his tractor outside my bedroom at 6am and let the engine warm up, but I never said anything - I saw it as just one of those things. I think trying to calm down would be the best course of action. It will do you no good to get raised.
